A Great Blue Heron stands on the right side of the image, facing right. Its reflection transitions from clear to indistinct as it extends toward the bottom of the frame. In the background on the left, three American Black Ducks are busy finding food in the muddy bottom of the marsh.
Hard-working American Black Ducks decorate the background at Boyd's Lane Marsh where a Great Blue Heron thinks it rules the roost.

Taken with my Jintu Len 420 - 800mm The ducks were a little ways offshore and my T Mount Adapter was a little loose, so I didn’t push my luck.
Took these in Falmouth off the Baxter Park Loop. They were floating in the shallows, off the bay.
I believe they’re American Black Ducks. The males have olive-yellow to orange bills and the females have yellow to greenish bills.
